Full-blown visual regression suites can be heavy. Pixelay offers a lighter alternative by letting you compare the live site to your Figma mocks whenever you ship changes. It’s perfect for teams that want visual confidence without writing custom automation scripts.

Manual precision with automated help

Pixelay handles the annoying parts—pulling the right frames, aligning them, and showing diffs. You still use your judgment to decide if a change is acceptable, which keeps the process flexible.

Works across environments

Point Pixelay at production, staging, or local builds. That makes it easy to catch regressions before they impact customers.

Regression routine

1. Build a checklist of high-risk screens.
2. After each release, overlay those screens using Pixelay and capture diffs.
3. If something looks off, file an issue with the attached screenshot and fix it immediately.

It’s visual regression testing that actually fits into a design team’s day-to-day rhythm.

Combine with automation

Trigger Pixelay comparisons after CI deploys to staging. Designers get notified with a list of diffs to review, turning regression testing into a predictable ritual rather than a fire drill.
